Gov. Daniel Fernando signed on April 30 Executive Order No. 17 as “Iglesia Ni Cristo Lingap Sa Mamamayan ng Lalawigan ng Bulacan Day” recognizing the church group’s humanitarian effort of offering Philippine Arena in Bocaue and Sta. Maria towns as a major quarantine facility in the country not only serving Bulakenyos but mostly returning and repatriated Overseas Filipino Workers (OFW) because of the pandemic including residents of Metro Manila and other places who were infected of the disease.

Also over the weekend, the church donated 4,000 food packs to the strongly affected  Bulacan residents.

Fernando joined by Vice Gov. Wilhelmino Sy-Alvarado received in Capitol Gymnasium the said packs of foods including cavans of rice. 

Manalo was born on May 10, 1889 in Taguig, Metro Manila and died on April 12, 1963. He founded the church on July 27, 1914. 

The church built Philippine Arena in Bocaue and Sta. Maria towns inside the Ciudad de Victoria multi hectare facility during its 100th year centennial founding anniversary in 2014. 

Philippine Arena since then became the world’s title holder as largest indoor arena with 55,000 seats. It also bags other major recognition in Guinness International World Book of Records.
